RTD Embedded Technologies ECAN527HR module

RTD Embedded Technologies has introduced the ECAN527HR module that provides direct interface between PC/104 and CANbus.

Intel-compatible Bosch 82527 controller chips support standard and extended messages frames, as specified by CAN specification 2.0 part B. The board can transmit, receive and perform message filtering, transmit searching and interrupt searching with minimum cpuModule intervention.

System parameters may be stored in the onboard 256 byte EEPROM. The board is mapped into low memory of the host cpuModule and can use either XT or AT interrupts on the PC/104 bus.

RTD provides drivers, example programs and diagnostics software for DOS, Windows and Linux to decrease the time required for system development.

Features include: 1 MBps data transfer rate; full CAN functionality; Intel-compatible Bosch 82527 CAN controller; memory mapped; twisted-pair CANbus, galvanically isolated with 750 V AC-RMS isolation; optional fibre-optic CANbus; protected CANbus transceiver; 24 V CAN compatible; 8-bit bidirectional I/O port; two status LEDs.
